I'm a new owner of a Flex 4-1570 Ideapad. I have a critical update awaiting install, however the window popup says it is for the YOGA not the Flex. Thus, I have not installed it. My question is, should I install it? If not, how do I turn the notification off? Thanks!

I bought my K450 Desktop a while back on Amazon, and it said that it had bluetooth. It doesn't seem to be built in, but a bluetooth dongle for the included keyboard and mouse may have been what it was referencing. If this was the case, how can I make the keyboard/mouse bluetooth dongle general purpose so that I can connect my mobile phone to my PC wirelessly? I've tried installing the Lenovo bluetooth drivers, but am told that no bluetooth reciever is connected to my PC. Why can't I make this usb dongle act as general purpose, rather than only working for the keyboard/mouse?

A:lenovo k450 - turn off chasis light

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !

Are you referring to the light on the top panel near the power button? If so, this is the hard drive indicator light. This light will flash whenever there is activity with the hard drive. There is no easy way of disabling it. I would just cover the light with a small piece of tape. Black electrical tape would work well.

Page #2 of your model's User Guide shows the location of the various lights on your model. Here is a link to that guide for your reference....

i just bought this factory refurbished Lenovo K450 desktop i5 4th gen quad core 3.0ghz, 8gb ram, 1tb seagate 7200rpm. it came preloaded with Win8, which not only do i hate, but not all of the software i use is compatible. I make music, edit video and do graphic design, so i use programs like Cubase, Reason, Premier, Vegas, Adobe CS. I am on a seriously tight budget as a full time college student on financial aid and father of 2, so the price for the specs on this refurb was a great deal for me. 500 bucks on ebay.

I have been quite savvy with computers for well over 15 years now. mostly Mac, but for economic reasons i recently made the switch to windows and i have not regretted it. XP and 7 have been good to me thus far. However, I have finally run into something that has seriously stumped me. That is downgrading from 8 to 7.

I am unsure exactly how to set the BIOS. And I'm not sure, do i boot the dvd as legacy or uefi? I know I have to disable secure boot. and set bot mode to legacy right? what else am I overlooking? I keep getting error code 0x80070570. I have to figure out soon whether it is something I'm doing wrong or something wrong with the machine so that i can return it to the seller within 30 days. He swears there is nothing wrong with it and i did run a lot of diagnostics and found it passed in every which way. I do get a blue screen crash that says memory_management.

someone please point me in the right direction. Lenovo won't help me... Read more

A:Clean install Win7 on refurb Lenovo K450

Well, well... i just figured out how to press f10 and run a lenovo diagnostic. the memory failed! i just emailed the seller and let him know he has a few options. send me new ram, pay the shipping to send it back for him to fix it, exchange it or issue a full refund. thanks anyway y'all. i knew i know what i'm doing. i've been messing with computers for far too long to have been going this crazy simply installing an os!!!

Bought a brand new Lenovo K450 that came with Windows 8. I installed Windows 7 Pro (64) on it end of August. Friend came into town a couple days after that, downloaded fourteen tool bars and more viruses than I can care to count. I did a relatively good job of cleaning it, but keep getting (kept) virus alerts. My system is running slow. Very slow. I've run AVG and AdAware as well as Malwarebytes... I even ran HiJack this but it's been so long, I couldn't remember what was good and what was bad. The log file was VERY long so I just figured... it's time to reinstall windows.

I dont have an install disk from Lenovo. It was a factory refurb with the partition containing all the drivers and Windows 8 (which we all hate). I had to download the individual drivers from Lenovo and install them when I did a fresh install... it was a PITA, but the system is 'running'.

Here's the TLDR summation:

Getting 800B0100 error when trying to install 976932... it's the 8mb SP1 update that others have had issues with. My system does NOT have SP1 installed - I know this because its not listed for one and two, trying to install IE11, gives me the dreaded 'you need SP1' error message.

So what have I done?

Disabled AVG for the time being (its the only thing installed besides Dropbox desktop client).I've run OldTimers temp file delete toolDownloaded the Hotfix tool and ran that. It's not (just now) telling me there is more than an 8mb file to install... that there is a 73.6mb - 892.6mb updat... Read more

A:Lenovo K450, 7 Pro x64 Install (didn't format), 800B0100

Oh yeah... I also downloaded, after the first failed attempt for a clean install, the ISO for Windows 7 that comes with the SP built into it. I downloaded th Windows 7 USB Download tool... it copied fine, but the final product, twice, said, 'cannot make this drive bootable'.

The disk I am using is an ISO image from a few years ago without the SP on it.

I got half way through the manul update and now it's just frozen on about 55%, just sitting there for the last ten minutes. Going to try it again. If that doesn't work - I'm throwing my computer out and starting over. SMDH

Freshly installed Win7Ultimate x64 with all available microsoft updates, and I am experiencing frequent (Daily) BSOD failures at seemingly random times. Some of them happen when I am not at the machine and nothing is being run. 4x4GB RAM have been borrowed from a non failing PC (Lenovo K450 i7 Win8x64) with no change in behavior.

As outlined, dump files and other info are uploaded with this message. I am eager to resolve this issue.

Thank You!

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !

Although the Hardware Maintenance Manual lacks the documentation there have been past discussions on the topic. Please check out this thread.......

I just purchased IdeaCentre K450 from Bestbuy.In addition I also purchased 2 Seagate 3TB Backup Plus USB drives. All three USB drives were plugged in to the K450.When the Windows Updates automatically rebooted the PC, it got stuck on the Lenovo BIOS logo.It will not bypass it until I remove or power down all the USB drives that attached to it. I did check the BIOS and make sure that it's not trying to boot from USB. I made the Local Hard Disk as the number 1 priority when booting. I don't know what is going on. I think Lenovo will have to update the BIOS. SInce it's a newer product, my guess is I will have to wait for a little bit. I called the support line and they have no clue what is going on. They only advise is to post it in the forum and see if anyone else has the same issue. *no comment* I guess this is a weird one because when I tested by plugging in an "EMPTY" 4GB USB jump drive, it will boot just fine.I'm not sure if it's because the Seagate Backup Plus was a 3TB drives or it has "certain" content inside the jump drive. If any fellow K450 users has the same issue, please post it here so the Lenovo "engineer" be able to see that there's an issue out there. Thank you.

Hi iamxcpx, welcome to the forums,

what you have experienced is not uncommon with any type of computer from notebook through to server, regardless of the boot disc being set as item 1 in the list, sometimes they just want to search everything available for boot instructions; depending on the quantity of information on the external discs it can sometimes take a little while.

I would suggest totally excluding the drives, or better all usb devices, from the boot order. The following picture is of another systems BIOS, but hopefully illustrates what I mean.

Hello everyone! I ama new user and i am coming up with this post as I couldn`t find any kind of solution for my problem.Recently I decided to do a reinstallation of my operating system, which also previously was Windows 7 Ultimate (x64). The installation went as usual, and after finishing it I went on to install all the latest drivers from the Lenovo site, for my product. When getting close to installing almost all the drivers i`ve needed, i stumbled upon a new version of the BIOS amnd the drivers and sfotware recommended for my laptop, by the producer. So i proceeded to install the upgrade, restarted the computer when it prompted me to do so, but after the so-called restart the laptop did not boot up as usual. At first it was telling me to not do anything as the BIOS is being flashed and then it was telling me something about some sort of image processing, things that i did not understand at the time (i have never encountered anything like that). After that my screen turned black. I have not done anything for a few couple of minutes as i thought it was supposed to be like that, but then i just force shut it down and unplugged the AC adapter. When trying to boot it all up again, the only thing i got was a black screen and nothing else.After doing a little bit of research it appears that, somehowm i`ve managed to corrupt the bios on my laptop or something, and nothing else would work at this point. I tried to remove the BIOS battery and the ram and then put them all back, trye... Read more

I have an IdeaCentre K450 with an i7 4770. BIOS version and date is LENOVO I1KT34AUS, 2013-11-18. I have checked online with the Lenovo Companion software and there doesn't seem to be any newer BIOS version for this model. The SKU is: "LENOVO_MT_1012". I have successfully replaced the PSU with a 600W version. If I put an i7 4790K in this machine, would it work? Has anyone tried? Has anyone tried a GTX 1080 in this machine? Johan

bought this recently, and must say that i am pretty pissed. i did installation of windows 7 on it and it worked fine for some 10 days till it got BSOD cause of bad system info and couldnt even load into windows. only solution was to reinstall. i did fresh install and i got BSOD with fresh install after only few days. checked internet for solution and saw that you could select windows 7 os in bios for optimized settings that should prevent BSOD. but no option for windows 7 in bios. only for win 8 and other OS. i thought ok, i will just download latest bios and flash it. but what happened when i downloaded bios (a2cn38ww) from support page?i got this message "your machine does not match with this bios". so does anyone know where i can actually download correct bios, or how to contact lenovo support so they can tell me where to download bios?

Hello , recently I removed dvd-rw and replaced it with a caddy for a second hdd. But in bios it is not recognize , instead on windows it is working properly. The problem is with the booting , because of the bios sometimes it enters a boot loop and need to power off and power on until it start into windows. Where I can get a bios for lenovo b50-70 that supports a second hdd ? Thank you in advance.

From the official site downloaded the updates for the BIOS version 2.04, and was 3.00, now downloaded version 3.00 when you install fixed it secure flash invalid firmware image error what to do ?

Hi all, Need help on my Lenovo G40-70 that I've just bought 6 months ago where I accidently bricked the laptop after BIOS update. It seems during the BIOS updating process it when well but after 2nd reboot there's some message on the screen that the BIOS failed to update factory setting and it freeze on the message for quiet sometimes. After a long wait I decided to long press Start button for hard reboot. Then the scary part comes in where it seems the laptop can't longer shows the Lenovo logo & cannot even boot to Windows, just black screen. Hope anyone can help me on this and give some advice on what I'm going to do. I would like to tried myself first before ending up with warranty claim since I'm worried I've brick the warranty due to wrong BIOS update procedure....

A:Lenovo G40-70 Bricked by BIOS Update

hi mahdhir2005,

Im sorry to hear that.

I would suggest you call the Lenovo Technical Team regarding the Issue. If it is the BIOS that's causing the issue then there maybe no source or option to have it fixed without they're help or service.

If the BIOS software you downloaded was from a legit Lenovo Site and correct model, then I think It will be ok to Just report them what happened and ask for possible option.

Hope this helpedThanks!

Hello! My wifi stoped working and I updated all drivers and it didn't work. Then for the last thing I've updated the bios from 9acn28ww to 9acn32ww from the site. It went OK, but now that I try to acess the setup I'm prompted by a system password I didn't set earlier, it was empty. It came with Windows 8 installed, but I was using Windows 7 with MBR partition and now I can't configure to Legacy and nothing... Is there any default password like "password" ? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone. I have a problem with my t430s, after updating the bios using lenovo online tool, my pc won't start anymore. It powers, after a few seconds the wifi indicator led turn on, and stays like that. No beeps, nothing. Tried removing bios battery, the 10 press plus long press of power button, but no luck. Does anyone know a way to revive it? I don't have warranty on it. Thanks.

Problem solved. I found some 1333 ram today and insert into my laptop. The old 1066 tams are not supported in this bios appears...

My Windows 10 N22 does not output audio to my digital TV when connected with an HDMI cable. I have tried it on several TV's with the same result. I get video, but the audio comes from the laptop speakers. The TV is not even available to select as a Playback Device in Sounds, only the speakers show up. I have tried to udate the BIOS, as the latest BIOS is supposed to resolve an HDMI audio issue. However, when I try to update it, I get a message that reads "ERROR 180 - BIOS part numbers do not match!" My current BIOS version is 0YCN14WW.

I have the Lenovo IdeaCentre 700-25ISH and my bios version is from 3/18/2016 FWKT42A, and i see that the new version came out on 12/29/2016 FWKT65AI need to know if i should update or just leave it as it is?!And where is the changelog bettween the 2 versions or all version that came out to see what was updated? Thanks.

As mentioned in the subject, Lenovo update utility suggested a BIOS update. The update seemed to go fine but when finished the computer would not boot. It cannot find media. There are some blue blurbs and retries but ultimately the computer no longer has a bios.

Finally gave into the Lenovo nagging and updated the BIOS on my E560 - big mistake. It went through and installed fine, no issues with failures, etc (well none that appeared on the screen). The laptop restarted fine, it went through and updated the BIOS, restarted one final time and ...... nothing. At present I have popped the battery and the power, reset the unit (press pwr button for 15sec etc), removed all peripherals, etc, etc, googled for similar happenings and so no matter what I have done, the laptop is as dead as a brick. I have the small red power light on but that's about it. Nothing appears on the screen (so can't see UEFI/BIOS), no fans start and about the only thing that does work is the DVD drive can be opened. It's a relatively new laptop (less than 12 months old so still under warranty) but as a word of caution to other E560 owners - DO NOT INSTALL THE LATEST BIOS UPDATE. Well no unless you want an expensive paper-weight for your desk.

Hi, I recently bought the Lenovo g50 (80e501g3us) laptop that came loaded with Windows 8.1. I decided to downgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) because the laptop came loaded with spyware such as Superfish and I prefer Windows 7. I first created a system image of the computer for safety and then i rebooted with the Windows 7 CD. I had to delete all of the partitions in order to install Windows 7. The installation was a success and I started updating all of the drivers for my model based on the Windows 7 64 bit OS that I got from Lenovo's website. All drivers except 2 worked which said it required an update. I then flashed my BIOS with the version that I downloaded from Lenovo's website thinking that this might solve my problems. After the BIOS was flashed I received an error that this was the wrong BIOS.Now I get the following errors: Default boot device missing or boot failedInsert recovery media and hit any keyThen select boot manager to choose a new boot device or to boot recovery media This then present me to the boot option menu with the following option only listed:efi pxe network I have inserted the DVD that I used to install Windows 7, however, it is not being recognized or loading since the only option is efi pxe network.

Reset the BIOS to default before you do anything else.

Unplug AC adapter (remove from notebook).Remove main batteryPress and hold the power button for 30 seconds (power drain)Replace main batteryReplace AC adapter (plug into wall then notebook)

This should reset the BIOS to factory defaults, but you should enter the BIOS to make sure your boot order has been changed to indicate your choice of booting (DVD, HDD). I would also turn off network boot (disable) as you should not need that option for Windows 7, 8 or 10 to work correctly.

When I look up your system on the support page I see quite a few updates, drivers and such that support windows 8.1 and 10. If you are looking for a BIOS update or patch, those are usually OS neutral and are applied with either a BIOS utility or patcher that works in DOS mode and some can use a windows based utility.

Are you trying to use a BIOS update to fix an issue or just get the "latest and greatest" for your computer? Mostly I would not recommend updating your BIOS unless it is absolutely neccessary to fix a troublesome issue or problem with hardware.

I found this procedure on a lenovo forum. Give it a shot and see if it works for you. If not, it is not worth putting money into fixing this laptop.. New ones are pretty cheap and having a new mb installed in this one will cost more than a new laptop.

I can not find link of update file for BIOS on official support site.Lenovo companion offers download BIOS update of another types laptops(YOGA 3), but I don't want do it. I think it's dangerous.What should i do?

First of all I want to say that I am extremely disappointed with the experience I had with my Lenovo. After I bought it I found out that Lenovo, for some reason, disabled the Turbo Boost option of the CPU. I tried to fix it by entering the BIOS but the options there were limited, so I decided to update the BIOS. I downloaded the BIOS update for 64-bit windows(i am running windows 8 which is compatible with the said update utillity). I ran the .exe and followed all the instructions (did not shut-down restart or anything my computer). After installing it automatically restarted and a Lenovo logo prompted on the screen followed by ">>Start PXE over IPv6, Press [ESC] to EXIT..." after that "EFI Network 0 for IPv6(numbers and letters) boot failed". Then ">>Start PXE over IPv4" which failed and a blue box poped saying "Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed. Insert Recovery Media and Hit any ket then select boot manager to choose a new boot device or to boot recovery media". Pressed ok and got me to Boot Manager screen. Boot option Menu had only EFI Network 0 for IPv6 and EFI Network 0 for IPv4". What should I do?Note that I tried to start up both with and without the ethernet cable in.

I've got an old thinkcentre (M51 series) and I need to update its bios to make it usable for my purposes. The problem I've run into is that I have no way to access the download, as Lenovo has removed the page containing it. It still appears on google and is listed as http://support.lenovo.com/en/downloads/ds013759, but nothing appears when I open the page. I looked at the product support, and there is no way that I could find to contact Lenovo from there about the page being missing. If anyone might happen to know how I could directly ask a Lenovo employee or if anyone has a link to download the file, it would be greatly appreciated.

Finally gave into the Lenovo nagging and updated the BIOS on my E560 - big mistake. It went through and installed fine, no issues with failures, etc (well none that appeared on the screen).

I had a functionnal dual boot Windows 10/Linux Mint but now Linux Mint takes around 3 minutes to boot. It took 25 seconds before. I figured it was related to the disk so I did the memory and disk diagnostics but everything seems ok. Even booting from USB/DVD is slow. I tried restoring default settings from BIOS, putting the battery in maintenance mode, removing the battery and even disconnecting the CMOS backup battery for an hour. I then tried to downgrade the BIOS but it does not seem like an option. This would probably fix my problem since everything was ok at version 2.11.I am really out of solution here! Please help, my computer is not usable in this state :/ Julien

It looks a lot like this problem:https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-T400-T500-and-newer-T/T500-takes-15-minutes-to-boot-after-bios... The only thing is that I don't have an "Intel AMT" option to disable in the BIOS :/ Help!
